A staggering 1 in 4 Americans over the age of 65 have diabetes. Having control of diabetes significantly reduces the risks of complications related to disease in other parts of the body. Serenity Home Health understands, however, that living with and having control of diabetes can be very challenging. Monitoring blood sugar and insulin levels on top of establishing a healthy lifestyle can quickly become overwhelming and may require extra care to maintain independence. Failure to adequately treat and stay up on monitoring of diabetes can lead to a chain of problems. In fact, if left untreated or poorly treated, diabetes can become debilitating. Complications might include kidney failure, heart disease and stroke. Keeping diabetes managed properly is made easier with our Diabetic Management program.
Serenity Home Health will help educate, treat, and monitor patients with Type I and Type II diabetes. Our Diabetic Management and Education program includes collaboration between our staff, the patient, the patient’s family, and the patient’s physician to provide the most effective treatment plan, effectively enhancing well-being and improving the quality of life.
Just a few of our many services include:
- Instruction on monitoring of blood glucose levels
- Dietary counseling and meal planning
- Treatment of feet and skin complications
- Circulatory needs
- Medication monitoring
- Exercise planning and scheduling
- Diabetes education to patient and family members
Diabetes doesn’t have to consume your life. Let our experienced health professionals teach you and guide you to a more hassle-free, healthier, and safer lifestyle.
